No Will Set You Free cover

This insightful book teaches readers the importance of saying no, helping them reclaim their time and prioritize their true desires in life.

In No Will Set You Free, the author explores the often-overlooked power of saying no. Many of us have been conditioned to always say yes, often at the expense of our own well-being and desires. This book encourages readers to reclaim their time and energy by embracing the word 'no.' It emphasizes that saying no is not an act of selfishness, but rather a necessary step toward living a fulfilling life. Through relatable anecdotes and practical advice, the author illustrates the freedom that comes from setting boundaries and prioritizing one's own needs.

The journey to learning how to say no can be challenging, especially for those who have always been people-pleasers. The author, Michael J. Tougias, shares his personal experiences and insights, making the narrative both engaging and informative. By combining research with humor, he offers a unique perspective on the importance of self-assertion. Readers will find that saying no can lead to reduced stress and increased productivity, allowing them to focus on what truly matters.

Inside No Will Set You Free, readers will discover valuable studies that shed light on the psychology behind our tendency to agree. The book provides actionable steps and strategies to help individuals gain confidence in their ability to say no. Whether you're looking to reduce overwhelm or simply want to prioritize your own happiness, this book serves as a guide to transforming your relationship with the word 'no.'

“Tougias sees a ‘beauty of no;’ by setting boundaries one can zero in on what is important. For him, that means more time for his family, his health, his hobbies of bike riding and being in nature and writing.”

“I don’t know anyone who won’t benefit from this book. We all struggle to say no, and when we fail to do so, we sacrifice things that would be better, or simply more enjoyable, uses of our time. No Will Set You Free offers smart, interactive solutions to help you get better at saying no while minimizing hurt feelings and maintaining relationships. It’s a punchy, practical, indispensable guide.”
